2. The combination, with a neck scarf or similar article .of wear havingone of its edges provided withy fastening means, of spaced holdinglmembers engageable over the usual collar upon the wearers shirt so as tohold the scarf at points at opposite sides of the neck, and means foradjustably connecting one of said members to the scarf fastening means Yaforesaid.
